Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping And The Fate Of America's Fresh Waters [Review Of Book By Robert Glennon], Robert H. Abrams Jan 2004

Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping And The Fate Of America's Fresh Waters [Review Of Book By Robert Glennon], Robert H. Abrams

Journal Publications

This is a fun book to read. Most books of this genre decry a serious environmental problem and seek to influence a particular legal response to it. Those books tend to be long on details and heavy-handed in their advocacy. Many operate on the premise that the solution being presented requires an active effort at persuasion to convince the reader of the proposal's worth. This book is better: it tells fascinating stories, weaves together a series of poignant vignettes, and guides the reader to the desired conclusion implied by the book's title-America's water law in relation to groundwater pumping is …

Interstate Water Allocation: A Contemporary Primer For Eastern States, Robert Haskell Abrams Jan 2002

Interstate Water Allocation: A Contemporary Primer For Eastern States, Robert Haskell Abrams

Journal Publications

The principal thesis of this article is that interstate water allocation matters. It matters because, absent allocation, states that want to conserve their water resources for either future intrastate use or for present in situ use are at risk of having sister states use that water in other inconsistent ways. Interstate allocation also matters because, if there is not a negotiated agreement, water use is sufficiently similar to a zero sum game in that there will be winners and losers and the winning strategy is easily identified. Under the most recent and detailed United States Supreme Court precedent, states engaged …

Groundwater Law In The Great Lakes States: A Lawyer's Catalog For The Benefit Of Water Planners, Robert H. Abrams Jan 1993

Groundwater Law In The Great Lakes States: A Lawyer's Catalog For The Benefit Of Water Planners, Robert H. Abrams

Journal Publications

Water rights are of single importance in the Great Lakes region. Of primary concern are the various laws that govern the allocation and use of water. Virtually every Great Lakes state has its own rich history of judicially resolved water disputes. These disputes have occasioned the generation of a common law of waters and water rights which are often supplemented by statutes. Not only is this true for surface waters, it is also true for groundwater. It is the groundwater resource that this article addresses.
